Both tables working very hard:


Lyn and Jan:


The pink themed morning tea, I think we all gained a dress size after eating this!


And the so scrumptious cupcakes that Sarah made and decorated:


This was my favourite card of the day:

I have used the very versatile Medallion stamp along with the Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz in- colours.

Well, I hope all my ladies enjoyed themselves (I know I did) and now our Christmas cards are prepared!
